Successfully
buying and selling real estate is mostly about fulfilling people's
needs and aspirations. That's why Harcourts people not only receive
in-depth professional training (the benchmark for the industry) but are
also committed to building meaningful and genuine personal relationships
with their clients. And the huge volume of referrals and repeat
business generated is proof that this works to everyone's satisfaction.

After
asking our Harcourts team in 2008 if there was a better way to invest
in the communities where we work, live and play, their overwhelming
response led to the launch of The Harcourts Foundation in Australia and
New Zealand.Our Purpose:

To provide support that helps, grows and enriches our communities.

As
we grow the Harcourts real estate brand across new countries and
markets, we also look forward to building this exciting legacy that is
The Harcourts Foundation.

Harcourts
Connect is dedicated to helping you move home more easily. They have
been successfully connecting customers to their utilities for over 10
years now. They can also arrange your disconnections and other moving
necessities.

Whilst
the proud legacy of Harcourts goes way back to 1888, our total focus is
firmly on the future. We are constantly asking how we can improve our
systems; how we can offer our clients even higher levels of personal and
professional service, and how we can train and equip our people to
achieve the best possible results for their clients.

only to contracts entered into on or after 21 April 1998.
